29.4.2020 NOUNS ( part1 )

30 th April  2020

Welcome to a new day of learning !
Hope all of you are taking good care of yourself and your loved ones at home.👦👦👱

We begin with an interesting , interactive  lesson today. I 'm sure you will enjoy . 
At the end of the unit, you will be able to:- 

• define and provide examples of nouns.
• sort nouns into categories.

Did you know that words  have jobs  just like we people do? Well  children, today I'm going to tell you about words whose job is to be  a noun. 

 Observe the image below carefully. 👇

Now, observe  the encircled pictures. 

pic 1.    is   a chair   

So, the word, chair,  tells me the name of this piece of furniture  which we find  in our homes, in schools , offices  etc  

Now observe the encircled pic. 2 . a bunch of bananas. 

So , the word, banana , tells me the name of this fruit  which  we all eat and is  said to be good  for our  health.

Hence, when a word tells us the name of something,   that  word     is a noun.

Now time to move ahead a bit! 

1st:-Everything that you see around you, you can name.  As for example, you can see your mum, dad, the computer, the cell phone, books, glasses, erasers , wall, lights  etc

Hence,  A  noun  is  a part of  speech that   name people , places, things  or ideas .

2nd :-   Nouns can be used as a subject in a sentence. ( It can tell us whom or what a sentence is about)

In a similar way, nouns have the ability to perform different functions/ jobs  in a sentence. They can be used as objects( direct / indirect), object complements and so on.  All of these you will learn as you grow older , in the  higher classes. 

Now, let's watch a clip to  learn a little more about!👇

Hope you enjoyed watching!  Now time for a small activity! 

Hope you 're ready!   I'm sure you 'll enjoy .😊😊😊

TASK 1 :-    C.W     ( TYPE  YOUR RESPONSE  IN THE COMMENT SECTION  !)   

Sort  the words ( nouns) in the boxes into the given  categories:-

person.....  

thing...….

animal.....

place...…..

 That was fun!  

Now moving ahead, let's learn about the different kinds of nouns.

The image below shows the four main  kinds of nouns:- 

PLEASE NOTE !    There are other types of nouns as well,  like material nouns , concrete nouns, countable and uncountable nouns . We cover them later , in our subsequent lessons.


In class 4 , we will  focus on PROPER, COMMON and COLLECTIVE NOUNS. ( and also introduce you to material, concrete, countable and uncountable nouns)  We learn ABSTRACT NOUNS in grade 5. 


That's all for now!    We continue the lesson tomorrow.
